Hudson & Wilson Rekindle Romance?
Kate Hudson has further fueled speculation she has rekindled her romance with her ex-boyfriend Owen Wilson after the pair was spotted having dinner together in Florida. The former couple met on the set of 2006 movie You, Me And Dupree and were romantically linked later that year, after Hudson split from her husband of six years, Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson. Hudson and Wilson reportedly ended their relationship in June 2007, just two months before Wilson's attempted suicide in August that year. But rumors of a reconciliation have been rife after the pair were photographed spending time together in Miami, Florida, earlier this month. The former lovers have now offered the strongest hint yet they have reunited after diners at the city's Casa Tua restaurant spotted the pair eating out with friends. A source tells PageSix.com, "(They) ate off each other's plates. They were dining with another couple, and she was in a bathing suit and cover-up even though it was 10pm." Hudson and Wilson were also seen out the following night enjoying a romantic dinner at Michael's Genuine eaterie.
Quaid Twins Overdose Hospital Is Fined

California regulators have fined a Los Angeles hospital $25,000 for giving overdoses of a blood-thinning drug to three children, including Dennis Quaid's newborn twins. Following an investigation, the California Department Of Public Health concluded the failure of staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to follow their own procedures resulted in incorrect doses of Heparin being administered to children. The report rules the overdoses were "preventable medication errors." The Traffic actor and his wife Kimberly's babies Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace were given almost fatal overdoses of the injectable anticoagulant in November - Cedars-Sinai staff gave the babies 1,000 times the normal 10-unit dose of Heparin shortly after they were born to a surrogate mother. The Quaid twins have since recovered from the incident.
Lohan Sex Tape?
Lindsay Lohan is at the center of a sex tape scandal - after footage emerged allegedly showing the actress performing a sex act on Irish model Calum Best. The 21-year-old Just My Luck star dated the son of British soccer legend George Best last year, and, according to British tabloid The Sun, the video was leaked on the internet after Calum sent the clip to "close friends." Representatives for both Lohan and Best have refused to confirm or deny the existence of the tape.
Gibson Speaks Out About Construction Worker's Suicide
Mel Gibson has been left devastated after hearing the news of a construction worker's suicide at his California home. The body of 48-year-old Michael John Van Dyke, who reportedly hanged himself, was found at the Agoura Hills property on Wednesday. The house is currently under heavy construction and the Signs star and his family were not present at the time of the incident. A representative for the actor/director admits Gibson feels "terrible" about the situation, even though he had never met Van Dyke himself. Van Dyke is alleged to have been an old friend of the contractor hired to work on Gibson's mansion, but had no direct ties to the actor. According to Tmz.com, Van Dyke worked as a construction foreman on movie sets including The Matrix Reloaded, Star Trek: Nemesis and Dr. Dolittle 2. He was reportedly experiencing financial difficulty following a messy divorce at the time of his death.
Anna Nicole's Son's Death "Not Homicide"

The magistrate presiding over the inquest into Daniel Smith's death has ruled out homicide - and has banned the jury from choosing the option. Daniel died from a suspected drug overdose three days after his mother Anna Nicole Smith gave birth to her daughter Dannielynn in September 2006. The Bahamian court's jury has heard testimony from Anna Nicole's former lovers Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern and a number of Smith's friends. The inquest also heard that Daniel was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital for misuse of valium in July 2006. On Thursday, the magistrate told the jury to discuss four possible options as the cause of death - accident, misadventure, non-dependent drug use and an open verdict. According to website Tmz.com, the jury will deliberate on March 31.
Clooney Follows Family Trend With 'Leatherheads' Premiere
George Clooney will follow in the footsteps of his relatives when he attends the Leatherheads premiere in Kentucky on Monday night. The 46-year-old will return to Maysville in his native state for the opening of his new movie at the Washington Opera Theatre - 55 years after his aunt Rosemary Clooney's own film, The Stars Are Singing, premiered in the town. His father Nick Clooney says, "He knows all about that, and he is very interested in kind of connecting the dots as far as family history. He thinks that would be kind of cool for the family, and one hopes for the town, too."
Lopez: "I Conceived Naturally"
Jennifer Lopez has dismissed reports she and husband Marc Anthony conceived their newborn twins via in vitro fertilization (IVF), insisting it took her years to get pregnant naturally. The Maid In Manhattan star gave birth to son Max and daughter Emme in a Long Island, New York hospital on February 22. And Lopez is adamant the couple never turned to artificial insemination. She tells U.S. magazine People, "It was natural. We didn't do in vitro, which I know was reported. Everybody assumed that because we had twins. I wanted to have a baby, but I've always said exactly what I said all those years they (reporters) asked us since we've been married: 'Well, when are you guys gonna have some kids?' 'When it happens naturally, I guess!' And that's when it happened. It was a surprise to us." Lopez, 38, admits she often doubted whether she'd ever become a first-time mum. She adds, "You start getting older, you think to yourself, 'Maybe (having kids) is just not meant for me.' I knew there was nothing wrong with me. I knew that I could. Deep down, I really wanted it badly... (But) after one year, two years, three years... You know, you start thinking to yourself, 'Well, maybe...'"
Steve-O "Accepts Himself" in Rehab

Troubled Jackass star Steve-O has credited his time in rehab with allowing him to accept his "imperfections and all". The stuntman is currently being held at Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he has been placed on a 14-day hold, while medics observe his condition and behavior. But the star admits he has found a new lease on life at the centre. In his latest blog from what he calls the "nut house", he writes: "There is more to me than the act of scrotum-stapling. I had never seen the tolls that my years have taken on my flesh so vividly. Pretty wild to wait until you're hidden away in the 'nut house' to become self-conscious about the way you look. I am, indeed, very proud to be exactly how I am, imperfections and all. As a matter of fact, I look forward to the deterioration of my appearance over future years, with hopes of giggling, in old age, at the thought of how truly ugly I will have become."
Winfrey "Confident" of Victory in 'Big Give' Legal Battle
Oprah Winfrey is "confident" of victory in an ongoing legal battle with a woman who claims she gave the star the idea for her charity TV show Oprah's Big Give. Darlene Tracy, from Boston, Massachusetts, filed a lawsuit against the star, insisting she hatched the concept for a program in which contestants would be challenged to help the needy and offered it to Winfrey's production company in February 2005. The suit claimed Harpo Productions turned down her idea for the show, titled The Philanthropist, but went on to use the format as the basis for Oprah's Big Give which aired for the first time on U.S. TV earlier this month. Tracy, who represented herself in the hearing at the U.S. District Court in Boston, saw her claim dismissed by the judge but has since hired a team of lawyers and lodged an appeal against the decision. But a spokesman for Winfrey insists the star and her lawyers are fully confident of victory, telling New York Daily News, "We agree with the judge that (Tracy's) claims against Harpo Productions, Inc. are without merit. (And we are) confident that the Court of Appeals will agree that Tracy has no claim." Winfrey's representatives have also shot down rumors Tracy's legal action has shot down a planned Big Give book deal. It had been reported the star was in talks with publishers Simon & Schuster but the deal fell through because of fears the company could be named in Tracy's suit. But representatives for both the publishers and Winfrey denied any plans were underway for a Big Give book.
